In Alaska Travels in Alaska takes readers on a
trip to Alaska through the vivid descriptions of
the author, John Muir. The book is based on
journals Muir wrote during his visits to Alaska in
1879, 1880, and 1890. These chronicles of his
journey relate his observations of nature,
glaciers, and the many people he met. Traveling on
foot, by canoe, and dogsled Muir experienced
excitement discovering unfamiliar types of lands
and animals. Each summer Muir and his new found
Presbyterian missionary friend S. Hall Young

extensive voyages of discovery in a thirty foot
canoe. John Muir was a naturalists who ...

16th Century Poetry - 1,273 words
16Th Century Poetry Part I: 1. Name three of the
Germanic tribes that brought to England the
dialects that make up the basis of the language we
now call Old English. The Germanic tribes that
brought the dialects were the Angles, the Saxons,
and the Jutes. 2. Give an example from Beowulf of
three of the following poetic devices:
alliteration, the kenning, variation (repetition
of appositives), or the litote (understatement).
There are several examples of alliteration in
lines 3079-3084, "Nothing we advised could ever
convince the prince we loved, our land's guardian,
not to vex the custodian of the gold, let him lie
where he was long accustomed, lurk there under

1984 And Brave New World - 1,196 words
... hidden beneath the dark mustache. O cruel,
needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed
exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented
tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it
was all right, everything was all right, the
struggle was finished. He had won the victory over
himself. He loved Big Brother. This shows the
power that the Party and OBrien has had over
Winston; they have taken his old understanding and
beliefs and transformed them into an attitude that
complies with those of the Party. The conditioning
of an individual for a utopian society often
results in the repression of individuality. Both
novels attempt to create a utopian society. The
major thing that holds t ...

2/23/99 The Hindenburg Disaster Count Ferdinand
Von Zeppelin and his crew operated their first
airship nearly one hundred years ago. Airships are
big controllable balloons, also known as
dirigibles. There are three classes of airships,
rigid, nonrigid and semirigid. Rigid airships
(zeppelins) use framework in the interior to keep
their shape. Semirigid airships are a combination
of framework and gas pressure to maintain their
shape. Nonrigid airships (blimps) rely solely on
air pressure to keep their form. They are all
propelled with engines, use rudders and elevator
flaps for steering and have a gondola where
passengers travel. The pride of the zeppelin works
was a rigid airship which was o ...

A Farewell To Arms - 1,083 words
A Farewell To Arms That fall, Henry and Catherine
live in a brown wooden house on the side of a
mountain. They enjoy the company of Mr. and Mrs.
Guttingen, who live downstairs, and they remain
very happy together; sometimes they walk down the
mountain path in Montreux. One day Catherine gets
her hair done in Montreux, and afterwards they go
to have a beer--Catherine thinks beer is good for
the baby, because it will keep it small; she is
worried about the baby's size because the doctor
has said she has a narrow pelvis. They talk again
about getting married, but Catherine wants to wait
until after the baby is born when she will be thin
again. Three days before Christmas, the snow
comes. Cather ...

A Journey Though The Golden Gates Of Promise - 2,246 words
A Journey Though the "Golden Gates" of Promise
Great controversy exists over the true promises of
the "Golden Gates" in the United States.
Discrimination occurs with different ethnic
groups, but for those immigrants permitted into
the country, the opportunities are excellent. The
laws and practices established to control
immigration into the United States limit the
amount of poverty that can be present in the
country. Without these important practices and
laws created by the United States Congress,
"cheap" labor would overpower American citizen
labor and lead the country to an economic and
social catastrophe. Although the United States is
often criticized for its establishment of
immigration ...

A Lesson From Oliver - 5,155 words
A Lesson From Oliver by David Jorgensen Like any
other morning I was up at four, the day Oliver met
with his violent death. At four in the morning the
grass is wet. Now, it's still wet at 6 a.m. and
even at seven, and these tend to be the hours of
choice for most people wishing to appreciate the
phenomenon of grass wetness. But it's a tragedy of
economics that, when work starts at 5 a.m., one is
not afforded the same time-options for grass
appreciation as members of the sane world. Nor was
this tragedy confined to my having to appreciate
the wet grass while in a metabolic state more
suited to hibernation. Four a.m. was my only
chance to absorb all of northern Ontario's summer

Swift It is a melancholy object to those who walk
through this great town or travel in the country,
when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin
doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex,
followed by three, four, or six children, all in
rags and importuning every passenger for an alms.
These mothers, instead of being able to work for
their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all
their time in strolling to beg sustenance for
their helpless infants: who as they grow up either

A Reputation Contradicted - 1,332 words
A Reputation Contradicted A Reputation
Contradicted To many, a hero is someone who saves
something or someone else. Although Odysseus seems
to be the hero in Homers The Odyssey, his name
problematizes the nature of his heroism, and
ultimately, of his identity. In Greek, the proper
noun Odysseus also functions as a verb meaning to
be against or to oppose. Paradoxically, then, the
protagonist of The Odyssey is also an antagonist;
the hero is also the character responsible for
causing the greatest harm. When Odysseus leaves
Ithaka to fight in the Battle of Troy, he does
more intimate damage than he will ever realize
until he returns to find his home in a state of
chaos and subsequent destructio ...

A Separate Peace: Chapter 1 - 5,644 words
^^^^^^^^^^A SEPARATE PEACE: CHAPTER 1 Have you
ever in your life gone through an experience so
intense, so joyful, so painful, or just so
important at the time, that you could only
understand much later what truly happened? Isn't
it a fact that when we're in the middle of an
experience, we are often unable to think clearly
about it because we're too busy feeling the
moment's thrill or sadness to stop and come to
sensible conclusions? Our high school years are
just such a time: of quick growth and
self-discovery, of forging as well as breaking
friendships, of proving ourselves to others, in
the classroom and on the sports field, and a time
when we want very much to be individuals and to

Philosophy a clearer view on how to approach your
own paper, please do not plagerise) The approaches
given by Pierce and Nagel to the epistemological
questions of doubt and belief, though diverse in

contain a similar underlying principle. They both
serve to show that belief cannot come from any
source that appeals to one's feelings or purposes,

Abortion - 1,138 words
Abortion Abortion has been one of the topics of
hot debate for the last three decades in our
nation. Since the Roe v/s Wade decision in 1973,
some Americans feel the need to ponder whether
aborting fetuses is a moral action. On the one
hand, some people feel that abortion should be
legal because a woman has a right to choose
whether she wants to continue a pregnancy or not.
It's her body. On the other hand, some feel that
fetuses have no advocates and deserve a right to
live, so it is immoral to abandon their rights and
kill them. This issue is not only at the center of
political debate, but philosophical debate as
well. In this paper, I will examine and critique
Mary Anne Warren's On the Mo ...

Through many triumphs and errors, he always

His dedication resulted in great promises from God
that were eventually fulfilled and affect each of

win it all. This year's finals, is true of that
last sentence because both teams had losing
